@Wahaha360 I just want to confirm, when you say two-tone, do you mean the original gray on silver? I heard that you might be doing just silver/black because the gray finish was too expensive.

Two Tone Black & Silver will be a default variant
Space Gray or Two Tone Space Gray & Silver will be a made to order for ~$300-$350 depending on how close to Apple Macbooks.
It’s cool, I’m going to get one from their factory.
I think the high price will limit the potential.
People pay for convenience, that's what I'm saying. Managing everything in a SFF build (making sure parts fit, cable management, cooling, etc.) is a lot harder than plugging two things into a PCIe slot and then some short cables to power it and then sliding the entire thing in.
Plus, it's Razer, they have their die-hard fans that will buy anything with a Razer logo.
What make it so expensive, compared to default black/silver?
It is anodized first then a special proprietary coating. The setup cost is quite high, only one supplier willing to do it.
To make any regular dark grey is slightly more expensive than Black or Silver, but the fingerprint resistance is inferior and feel is also inferior, it’s not as smooth to the touch.
If you ever owned one of the many Apple Space Gray like dongles, a Taobao case, they are not as smooth, the sandblasting not as consistent.
Never heard of gaming laptop? ?
Also, you are comparing it to niche case that aren't even available 95% of the year, let alone not sold at a major retailer
No dust filter. The performance hit on the case is serious.
I tried to source the same high perforated soft filter used by Silverstone magnetic filters, but that filter requires a frame to hold it in place, at that point, might as well just let you guys get the filter yourself. I want to keep the price at $200.
Yea, they will pay for anything with apple logo, just like stand for 1k USD.
Are there plans for a purely silver version as well? I haven't seen it mentioned in the last few pages.
Well, according to recent comments on YouTube, seems like OptimumTech definitely do NOT have a T1 to review.
@Wahaha360 from your posts it sounded like he already had a T1 prototype or something, I guess I was wrong lol.
Hope he receives his review unit before pre-orders are open.

B-but apple stuff just works you know, with those cheap ikea wheels you can't be sure, and you are a professional who can't afford wasting time on troubleshooting /s
I am glad you're taking care with the gray finish. Despite all the clowning over the Mac Pro accessory pricing, there are a lot of small things like this that Apple does and people don't appreciate until they have the generic version in front of them, and even then some may not notice.
I've seen expensive keyboards that emulated the Space Gray finish very poorly and they felt and looked very cheap (e.g. fingerprints).
